What Can I Do With My English Degree?

Former Gov. Eliot Spitzer met regularly with prostitutes in multiple cities for 18 months before being identified as a client of an escort service and resigning in disgrace, a lawyer for an employee who arranged the trysts said Monday.

Lawyer Marc Agnifilo said his client, escort service booker Temeka Lewis, revealed key information to prosecutors before the March 2008 resignation of Spitzer, who was called Client-9 in court documents charging four employees of the pricey prostitution ring.

He said Lewis, who was sentenced Monday and received no jail time after cooperating with prosecutors, arranged meetings between Spitzer and prostitutes, including one who discovered he was the governor of New York when she saw him on television.

… Lewis, a Brooklyn resident and University of Virginia graduate who majored in English, worked at the escort service from October 2006 until her arrest in March 2008. She set up a February 2008 meeting between a prostitute and Client-9.

She pleaded guilty in May 2008 to conspiracy charges after beginning her cooperation with prosecutors even before Spitzer resigned just days after her arrest. She apologized in court Monday, saying: “I deeply regret my decision to break the law.”
